Hurts is firmly top-10 for me now but idk if I'd rate him at the very top with guys like Allen and Lamar yet.

Honestly not sure I'd have Mahomes up there either after his mediocre season and terrible SB performance.

Brown barely cracked 1k yards, Devonta didn't crack 1k yards
You can't tell me that they are better than Chase/Higgins lol.

Hurts wouldn't be doing what he's doing without Saquon and his O-line though
You put Burrow or Allen in his place and they would do the same thing but better


AJ & DeVonta each only played 13 games this season. Some missed from injury, and one from being rested last game of the season.

But either way, the beautiful part about having two great WR's on big contracts.... Eagles throw the ball less than any other team in the league this season lol. Having those weapons is more a luxury than a necessity. They were obviously a run first offense with the big men up front and Saquon along with Hurts mobility and designed runs for him. The Chiefs went all in on stopping Saquon though and we saw what happened when you let AJ & DeVonta get single coverage. The beauty of this offense is they can burn you in the passing game no problem, but they don't always need to.

And are Burrow or Allen better pure QB's than Hurts? No doubt. I don't think anyone is arguing with you there. Those are probably 2 of the top 3 QB's in the league.

guy you are quoting is literally arguing with himself.

Chase/Higgins are better than Brown/Smith!

He claimed that Brown/Smith were the best duo in the league, I said they weren’t and listed a duo that is better.

Doesn’t take away from the fact that Hurts is mid

From a production standpoint numbers wise, sure. Due to circumstances in the offense they play in lol. If we're talking about ability there isn't a duo that tops them. AJ is a top 5 WR and DeVonta is top 10 from an ability standpoint. DeVonte would be a #1 on so many teams, and if he was in a system like the Rams or Bengals he'd put up silly numbers with his skill set (some of the best pure route running, hands, and footwork in the league).

Eagles just don't throw much though, and Hurts, while VERY capable (and at this point underrated), certainly isn't Joe Burrow as a passer. They have two highly paid star WR's on the best rushing offense in the league with Saquon Barkley in the backfield who couldn't be stopped all season. Chiefs did well stopping Barkley, they committed to stopping the run and when that happens the Eagles just attack through the air. Pick your poison though, they're loaded on offense.

Anyways...this all started by you saying they had two "okay" WR's. One way or another, they're much better than just okay, no? :rolleyes:

You know who the real MVP was?
Jayden Daniels
Because he found out he has more pocket awareness than Mahomes

Superbowl Champions. Unreal. What a dominant performance from start to finish by the defense, DL

Jalen did everything he needed to, Jahan Dotson came up with some big catches early on, even Elliot was making all his kicks. Just incredible
